[QUOTE="LavaLynne, post: 4964431, member: 537230"] [h2]Homework Statement[/h2] A binary star system at a distance of 85pc consists of two stars of equal luminosity that are so close together that they are observed in a telescope as a single image. If the apparent magnitude of the two stars combined is 10.7 what would be the apparent magnitude of just one of the component stars?[/B][h2]Homework Equations[/h2] m= -2.5 log(L) m-M=5log(d)-5 [/B][h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I think I need to figure out what the two luminosities are added together?
